Hydrological effects of climate change,groundwater withdrawal,and land use in a small Korean watershed     

Kil Seong Lee  Eun‐Sung Chung 《水文研究》2007,21(22):3046-3056

The effects of variability in climate and watershed (groundwater withdrawal and land use) on dry‐weather streamflows were investigated using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool). The equation to predict the total runoff (TR) using climate data was derived from simulation results for 30 years by multiple regression analysis. These may be used to estimate effects of various climate variations (precipitation during the dry period, precipitation during the previous wet period, solar radiation, and maximum temperature). For example, if daily average maximum temperature increases by 3 °C, TR during the dry period will decrease by 27·9%. Similarly, groundwater withdrawals strongly affect streamflow during the dry period. However, land use changes (increasing urbanization) within the forested watershed do not appear to significantly affect TR during the dry period. Finally, a combined equation was derived that describes the relationships between the TR during the dry period and the climate, groundwater withdrawal and urban area proportion in a small monsoon watershed. This equation will be effective to predict the water availability during the dry periods in the future since it is closely related to changes of temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, urban area ratio, and groundwater withdrawal quantity.

Evaluation of building period formulas for seismic design     

Oh‐Sung Kwon  Eung Soo Kim 《地震工程与结构动力学》2010,39(14):1569-1583

Building period formulas in seismic design code are evaluated with over 800 apparent building periods from 191 building stations and 67 earthquake events. The evaluation is carried out with the formulas in ASCE 7‐05 for steel and RC moment‐resisting frames, shear wall buildings, braced frames, and other structural types. Qualitative comparison of measured periods and periods calculated from the code formulas shows that the formula for steel moment‐resisting frames generally predicts well the lower bound of the measured periods for all building heights. But the differences between the periods from code formula and measured periods of low‐ to‐medium rise buildings are relatively high. In addition, the periods of essential buildings designed with the importance factor are about 40% shorter than the periods of non‐essential buildings. The code formula for RC moment‐resisting frames describes well the lower bound of measured periods. The formula for braced frames accurately predicts the lower bound periods of low‐to‐medium rise buildings. The formula for shear wall buildings overestimates periods for all building heights. For buildings that are classified as other structural types, the measured building periods can be much shorter than the periods calculated with the code formula. Based on these observations, it is suggested to use C_r factor of 0.015 for shear walls and other structural types. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Disorder and the extent of polymerization in calcium silicate and aluminosilicate glasses: O-17 NMR results and quantum chemical molecular orbital calculations   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Sung Keun Lee  Jonathan F. Stebbins 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(16):4275-4286

Estimation of the framework connectivity and the atomic structure of depolymerized silicate melts and glasses (NBO/T > 0) remains a difficult question in high-temperature geochemistry relevant to magmatic processes and glass science. Here, we explore the extent of disorder and the nature of polymerization in binary Ca-silicate and ternary Ca-aluminosilicate glasses with varying NBO/T (from 0 to 2.67) using O-17 NMR at two different magnetic fields of 9.4 and 14.1 T in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations. Non-random distributions among framework cations (Si and Al) are demonstrated in the variation of relative populations of oxygen sites with NBO/T. The proportion of non-bridging oxygen (NBO, Ca-O-Si) in the binary and ternary aluminosilicate glasses increases with NBO/T. While the trend is consistent with predictions from composition, the detailed fractions apparently deviate from the predicted values, suggesting further complications in the nature of polymerization. The proportion of each bridging oxygen in the glasses also varies with NBO/T. The fractions of Al-O-Si and Al-O-Al increase with increasing polymerization as CaO is replaced with Al₂O₃, while that of Si-O-Si seems to decrease, implying that activity of silica may decrease from calcium silicate to polymerized aluminosilicates (X_SiO2=constant). Quantum chemical molecular orbital calculations based on density functional theory show that a silicate chain with Al-NBO (Ca-O-Al) has an energy penalty (calculated cluster energy difference) of about 108 kJ/mol compared with the cluster with Ca-O-Si, consistent with preferential depolymerization of Si-networks, reported in an earlier O-17 NMR study [Allwardt, J., Lee, S.K., Stebbins, J.F., 2003. Bonding preferences of non-bridging oxygens in calcium aluminosilicate glass: Evidence from O-17 MAS and 3QMAS NMR on calcium aluminate glass. Am. Mineral.88, 949-954]. These prominent types of non-randomness in the distributions suggest significant chemical order in silicate glasses that leads to a decrease in silica activity coefficient and will be useful in modeling transport properties of melts.  相似文献   

High-resolution numerical simulation of the Pacific Ocean     

Sung Hyup You  Jong Hwan Yoon 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences》2010,46(1):97-112

The present study developed Pacific Ocean models from the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics Ocean Model (RIAMOM) with very high horizontal (1/6° and 1/12°) and vertical (70 levels) resolutions. The hydrographic features of the simulations show good agreement with observed climatological features. Solution differences between the 1/6° and 1/12° models are small for general features of various physical components, but large for eddy fields and the strengths of western boundary currents and their extensions. However, the two high-resolution models show realistic climatological features of Pacific Ocean circulation patterns. Volume transports through major straits in the northwestern Pacific Ocean were also simulated and compared with previous observational results.  相似文献   

Kinetics of high-pressure phase transformations: Implications to the evolution of the olivine → spinel transition in the downgoing lithosphere and its consequences on the dynamics of the mantle     

Sung Chien-Min  Roger G. Burns 《Tectonophysics》1976,31(1-2)

The rate of a high-pressure phase transition increases exponentially with temperature (T) and overpressure or pressure beyond equilibrium (ΔP). It is also greatly promoted by introducing shear stress, diminishing grain size, and adding water or other catalysts to the reactants. For an isothermal and isobaric transition with no compositional change, if steady state of nucleation on grain surfaces is attained, the rate equation can be expressed: (1) before site saturation by: X = 1 − exp(−Kt⁴), where and (2) after site saturation by: X = 1 − exp(−K′T), where , where X is volume fraction of completion of transformation, t is time, and the C's are characteristic constants. C₁ and C₉ are functions of grain size, C₃ and C₆ are functions of shear stress. All the C's are almost independent of temperature and pressure. Thus, if X as a function of T, ΔP, and t over a narrow P-T range can be experimentally determined, the C's can be calculated and the effect of grain size and shear stress on the rate of transformation can be evaluated. The isothermal and isobaric rate equations for a given composition, shear stress, and grain size are then experimentally determinable. The non-isothermal and non-isobaric rate equation can be calculated from the isothermal and isobaric ones if the rate of penetration into the metastability field is known. The important feature of the kinetics of high-pressure phase transitions predicted by these rate equations is that for a given rate of penetration into the metastability field, there can be defined a characteristic temperature, T_ch, below which the rate of the transition is virtually zero no matter how metastable the material is. For the olivine → spinel transition in the mantle, this characteristic temperature may be as high as 700° C. Thus, in a fast moving downgoing slab, the temperature at its cold center may remain below T_ch even down to depths in excess of 600 km, thereby greatly depressing the olivine—spinel phase boundary.At an early stage in the development of a downgoing slab, the plunging speed is slow. This allows the interior of the slab to heat up and the olivine → spinel transition to proceed rapidly and near equilibrium. As a result, the olivine—spinel phase boundary in the slab will be distorted upwards. The rising of the denser spinel phase then provides an additional driving force which accelerates the plate. Since the upper portion of the slab is pulled from below and the lower portion pushed from above, earthquakes of down-dip extension will occur in the upper mantle while those of down-dip compression will originate in the transition zone. Because the transformation occurs close to equilibrium, there will be an aseismic region separating the two seismic zones. When the plate velocity exceeds a certain limit, the temperature in the cold interior becomes low enough to depress the olivine → spinel transition. The phase boundary is then distorted downwards. The buoyant force thereby created will reduce the driving force, and the plunging speed of the plate will approach a steady state. In addition, the buoyant force will compress the slab from below and result in earthquakes of down-dip compression throughout the length of the slab. Now the olivine → spinel transition is so far from equilibrium that the reaction becomes implosive. A rise in frequency of deep earthquakes towards the implosion region in the lower transition zone is thus predicted. Therefore, as well as stabilizing the plate velocity, the olivine → spinel transition may also control earthquake distributions throughout the downgoing slab.  相似文献   

The effect of crystal field stabilization on the olivine→spinel transition in the system Mg2SiO4 - Fe2SiO4     

Roger G. Burns  Chien-Min Sung 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1978,2(4):349-364

Crystal field stabilization (CFS) plays a significant role in determining equilibrium phase boundaries in olivine→spinel transformations involving transition-metal cations, including Fe²⁺ which is a major constituent of the upper mantle. Previous calculations for Fe₂SiO₄ ignored pressure and temperature dependencies of crystal field stabilization enthalpies (CFSE) and the electronic configurational entropy (S _CFS). We have calculated free energy changes (ΔG _CFS) due to differences of crystal field splittings between Fe₂SiO₄ spinel and fayalite from: ΔG _CFS=?ΔCFSE?TΔS _CFS, as functions of P and T, for different energy splittings of t _2g orbital levels of Fe²⁺ in spinel. The results indicate that ΔG _CFS is always negative, suggesting that CFS always promotes the olivine→spinel transition in Fe₂SiO₄, and expands the stability field of spinel at the expense of olivine. Because of crystal field effects, transition pressures for olivine→spinel transformations in compositions (Mg_1?x Fe _x )₂SiO₄ are lowered by approximately 50x kbar, which is equivalent to having raised the olivine→spinel boundary in the upper mantle by about 15 km.  相似文献   

Evaluation of the seismic performance of a three‐story ordinary moment‐resisting concrete frame     

Sang Whan Han  Oh‐Sung Kwon  Li‐Hyung Lee 《地震工程与结构动力学》2004,33(6):669-685

This study focuses on the seismic performance of Ordinary Moment‐Resisting Concrete Frames (OMRCF) designed only for gravity loads. For this purpose, a 3‐story OMRCF was designed in compliance with the minimum design requirements in the American Concrete Institute Building Code ACI 318 (1999). This model frame was a regular structure with flexure‐dominated response. A 1/3‐scale 3‐story model was constructed and tested under quasi‐static reversed cyclic lateral loading. The overall behavior of the OMRCF was quite stable without abrupt strength degradation. The measured base shear strength was larger than the design base shear force for seismic zones 1, 2A and 2B calculated using UBC 1997. Moreover, this study used the capacity spectrum method to evaluate the seismic performance of the frame. The capacity curve was obtained from the experimental results for the specimen and the demand curve was established using the earthquake ground motions recorded at various stations with different soil conditions. Evaluation of the test results shows that the 3‐story OMRCF can resist design seismic loads of zones 1, 2A, 2B, 3 and 4 with soil types S_A and S_B . For soil type S_C , the specimen was satisfactory in seismic zones 1, 2A, 2B and 3. For soil type S_D , the OMRCF was only satisfactory for seismic zones 1 and 2A.

Genetic Implications of Two Different Ultramafic Rocks from Hongseong Area in the Southwestern Gyeonggi Massif, South Korea     

Jieun Seo  Seon Gyu Choi  Chang Whan Oh  Sung Won Kim  Suck Hwan Song 《Gondwana Research》2005,8(4):539-552

Two distinct ultramafic bodies occur in Baekdong and Bibong in the Hongseong area within Gyeonggi massif of South Korea. The Hongseong area is now extensively documented as an extension of the Dabie-Sulu collision belt in China. The Baekdong ultramafic body has a NWW elongation direction. This elongation trend is similar to the general trend of the Dabie-Sulu collision belt. The Bibong ultramafic body is elongated in a NNE direction and runs parallel to the direction of the main fault in the study area. The Baekdong ultramafic bodies show porphyroclastic and mylonitic textures while those at Bibong exhibit a mosaic texture. Both were grouped into peridotite and serpentinite based on their modal abundance of serpentine. In the olivine (Fo) vs. spinel [Cr# = Cr/ (Cr+Al)] diagram, both ultramafic rocks fall with in olivine spinel mantle array. The compositions of olivine, orthopyroxene and spinel indicate that the Baekdong ultramafic rock formed in deeper parts of the upper-mantle under passive margin tectonic setting. The SREE content of Baekdong ultramafic rock vary from 0.19 to 5.7, exhibits a flat REE pattern in the chondrite-normalized diagram, and underwent 5% partial melting. Conversely, large variation in SREE (0.5 21.53) was observed for Bibong ultramafic rocks with an enrichment of LREE with a negative slope and underwent 17 24% partial melting. The Baekdong ultramafic rocks experienced three stages of metamorphism after a high pressure residual mantle stage. The first stage of metamorphism occurred under the eclogite-granulite transitional facies (1123 911°C, >16.3 kb) the second under the granulite facies (825 740°C, 16.3 11.8 kb) and the third is the retrogressive metamorphism under amphibolite facies (782 718°C, 8.2 8.7 kb) metamorphism. The Baekdong ultramafic rocks had undergone high-P/T metamorphism during subduction of the South China Block, and experienced a fast isothermal uplift, and finally cooled down isobarically. Evidences for metamorphism were not identified in Bibong ultramafic rocks. Hence, the Baekdong ultramafic rocks with in the Hongseong area may indicate a link on the Korean counterpart of Dabie-Sulu collision belt between North and South China Blocks.  相似文献   

Investigations of nonlinear performances of implicit pseudodynamic algorithms     

張順益  黃裕鈞  宋裕祺 《地震工程与工程振动(英文版)》2006,5(2):257-266

Although it has been shown that the implementation of the HHT-α method can result in improved error propagation properties in pseudodynamic testing if the equation of motion is used instead of the difference equation to evaluate the next step acceleration, this paper proves that this method might lead to instability when used to solve a nonlinear system. Its unconditional stability is verified only for linear elastic systems, while for nonlinear systems, instability occurs as the step degree of convergence is less than 1. It is worth noting that the step degree of convergence can frequently be less than 1 in pseudodynamic testing, since a convergent solution is achieved only when the step degree of convergence is close to 1 regardless of whether its value is greater or less than 1. Therefore, the application of this scheme to pseudodynamic testing should be prohibited, since the possibility of instability might incorrectly destroy a specimen. Consequently, the implementation of the HHT-α method by using the difference equation to determine the next step acceleration is recommended for use in pseudodynamic testing.  相似文献
